50 Years of Terry was announced as a year long celebration of Terry Pratchett, timed to begin on the 50th anniversary of the publication of his first novel, The Carpet People. It was mainly visible in the release of new paperback and audiobook editions of the Discworld novels, with new matching cover designs cover art designed by Leo Nickolls, referencing Paul Kidby's character designs, and published for the first time under the Penguin imprint. The new paperbacks do not replace the current 2012-213 paperback editions, which use modified versions of Josh Kirby's covers.

Timeline
