I find that, while nothing substitutes for the eyes of another human being (and preferably one not related to you, if you can help it), for myself the best way to catch errors is to change the format I'm reading it in. '
For example, if I wrote it in a Word doc, uploading it to my Sony Reader or converting it so that it can be read in the Kindle Previewer or Calibre changes the whole thing enough that many problems suddenly jump out at me, where I would have completely glossed over them in the Word format.
I hear that printing it out can be useful too, but I try to avoid printing for economic reasons...
