One book that I've found particularly helpful is Judith Tarutz's "Technical Editing: The Practical Guide for Editors and Writers." Judith explains the difference between various kinds of editors and proofreaders. She also provides some thorough checklists of the types of things you'd look for, depending on which type of editing you're doing.

Dear Technical Writers,

Greetings. I am working on an assignement which requires proof reading and
editing. Are there any standards followed for editing documents and what are
the different techniques in editing a document?
