There seem to be two stages of editing; content (which we all got through unscathed) and copy, which is what I've just done. This picked out problems with punctuation (which was basically the old ; and - overuse and easy to resolve), my jiggling about with POV (which took longer to sort out but taught me masses about writing) and a few bits and bobs where errors had got through. The sweetest bit was where the protags are at a cricket match and one refers to 'the rough' and the editor thought there was a word missing, ie the rough something.
