I remember reading a Nero Wolfe story written in the 1940s. Archie Goodwin is called into a General’s office. To show what a big shot the General is the author has him demanding fifty copies of a report by tomorrow.
This sounds like my foolproof, but very wasteful, proofreading technique. You put your page in the copier, set it for 100 copies and turn your back on the machine until it stops running. I GUARANTEE that when you pick up the copies and look at the top page, ALL the mistakes will jump right out at you. :)
