Your talking about copy editor. I wrote a book which had two editors... a technical editor and a copy editor. The technical editor verified the content of the book (since it was a technical book) first and made suggestions. Then the copy editor would make sure it was English.

So, I read the book I wrote at least 4 times. Initial draft. Personal edit. Review of technical edit. Review of copy edit.
