FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

           CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS ANNOUNCES LETTER OF INTENT TO ACQUIRE
                     TUCKER PRINTERS OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK

                  TRANSACTION MARKS ENTRY INTO NORTHEAST REGION

     HOUSTON, TEXAS -- FEBRUARY 13, 1997 -- CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS, INC.
(NYSE/CGX) today announced it has signed a letter of intent to acquire Tucker
Printers in Rochester, New York. When completed, the addition of Tucker Printers
will give Consolidated Graphics 19 companies in 15 markets and annualized
run-rate revenues of $175 million. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

     Tucker Printers is a high quality, full service sheet-fed printer,
featuring five presses with up to six-color capability, a state-of-the-art
pre-press operation and a fully-equipped bindery. The Company was founded in
1960 and serves many major New York corporations. Management, including owners
Kenneth E. Backus, President and Daniel Tucker, Vice President, will continue in
their present roles.

     Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated
Graphics, commented, "We are excited that Tucker Printers has agreed to join
Consolidated Graphics as our first entry into the Northeastern U.S., a market
area that is home to many of America's best-known corporations. It has an
excellent customer base in a strong market, is very well managed, and through
the efforts of a dedicated group of employees, has a reputation of quality
craftsmanship and superior customer service. Tucker Printers will complement an
already strong group of operating companies."

     Consolidated Graphics, Inc. is one of the fastest growing printing
companies in the United States. It is a consolidator in a fragmented industry
