I agree that having other eyes looking at your work is essential. I've read some of my works three or four times through and I still find minor mistakes every now and again.
When I used to teach, I saw many, many students who assumed that because a passage made it through spell-check, it did not have errors. This led to some humorous situations where a word that was entirely inappropriate but spelled correctly turned up in a sentence (my favorite was the feudal lords who oppressed the pheasants).
