I'm afraid there are no shortcuts to thorough proof-reading. I'm in the process (and have been for a couple of years now) of creating a thoroughly-proofed "complete works of Dickens" here at MR. Each novel takes me about 2 months to proof-read, working at it a couple of hours a day. But that's proofing at the "every comma correct" level, which perhaps isn't required for the average paperback.
