Javier,

I think I should point out the following: my wife is a native English speaker, and was professional English teacher, proofreader, and translator. I asked her, and she said that to proofread and correct the current (free) documentation, one would need something like 3 weeks (possibly a bit less, like two weeks, if the proofreader understood the subject). I don't know how big the book is, compared to the current documentation, but what I'm saying here is that if you find someone doing it for $130, either they will be working for almost nothing (on an hourly base), or it still will be far from "print-quality", as the proofreader will only have time to correct the worst mistakes. I'm not a a native English speaker, and I have to admit that reading the current documentation is hard, due to all the grammatical mistakes. If you want your book to be "print quality", you probably need to "add a 0" to that amount. If you expect people to pay money for your book, then they will expect it to be well written and understandable. Just because someone is a native English speaker doesn't make them a good proofreader, in the same way that just because someone can write a program is some language, doesn't make him/her a professional programmer. I'm not saying you should pay my wife to do it, as she is "retired", I'm just hoping to "correct your expectations", so that you know what you will be getting, or more likely not getting, for that price. Sorry to disappoint you.
