Editing and Editors, Proofreading and Proofreaders

Okay, okay. You know, and we know, that editing and proofreading are not the same thing. But not everyone else does, and books on editing and proofreading sometimes get mixed up. So we put them together here for your convenience.

Also, books on editing and editors include books on copy editing and books for publication editors (journals, newspapers, etc.), as well as books on scholarly editing.
