Proofreader wanted

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.)

Because typos and spelling errors are still fair game for the proofreader.

I'm just curious - why do they want a proofreader if appropriate changes
cannot be made, anyway?
