I wonder what a decent editing service or editor would cost. It seems to make a difference if the editor is familiar with the topic. I can recall conversing with a fellow that published a few books that're known but likely have a narrow audience. He mentioned having a final draft of a second edition to one of his earlier books ready to go, but he didn't want to spring for the several thousand dollars it was going to cost at his advanced age. I thought at the time that wasn't much to hold up the project, but paying an editor might have doubled the cost?
