FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


              CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

     Houston, Texas - October 27, 1999 - Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE:CGX)
today announced results for the second quarter and six months ended September
30, 1999.

Second Quarter:

      Sales increased 48% to $152.9 million;

      Operating income grew 46% to $21.0 million;

      Net income increased 43% to $10.8 million;

      Earnings per diluted share increased 26% to $.68 per share.

Six Months:

      Sales increased 59% to $298.7 million;

      Operating income grew 56% to $41.4 million;

      Net income increased 53% to $21.5 million;

      Earnings per diluted share increased 33% to $1.37 per share.


     Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "As
previously announced, our continued growth and industry-leading profitability
were partially offset for the quarter by: the impact of Hurricane Floyd, the
timing of the completion of acquisitions, management issues at three of our
facilities, and our decision to increase long-term profitability and enhance
capacity by exiting a low-margin piece of book printing business. These issues
are largely behind us, and we look forward to continuing with our historically
strong operating performance, using our solid financial condition to execute our
successful operating strategies."
