Yes, Jan J. is right: I need someone to find the typos, because sometimes now a finger will hit two keys at once without my realizing it. I still type quite fast, but the swelling gets in the way. Actually, the text is only 120 pages, not 190. It is I who want a proofreader, not the authors, who after all wrote the text in Spanish. As for "changes," I do not want someone else suggesting substantive changes, even where the authors have written something others may not agree with, or where the English is awkward because the authors did not want any deviation from their phrasing. (I did occasionally break up a run-on sentence where the elevated syntax became inaccessible, and I hope they won't notice.)
