Null Pointer was released in 2009 with the infamous Ball Cover design as seen below. Conversing with a local bookseller convinced me to not have a pure white cover and to make it appeal to Mystery readers. So we redesigned it to the present blood splattered, subtle code background and launched the second edition in 2011. Today the old Ball Covers are rare and out of print. Most people who are programmers, prefer the old for its visual interpretation of a null pointer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johnnybatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0006_3571467485_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-603\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.johnnybatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0006_3571467485_o.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.johnnybatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0006_3571467485_o-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.johnnybatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0006_3571467485_o-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Original First Edition cover art by Byron McConnell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you remember the launch party cake, it had the Ball Cover design.
