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.

Penguin stated that the new paperbacks would not replace the current 2012-213 paperback editions, which use modified versions of Josh Kirby's covers.
