I found two misspellings: 1) Serena 2) Hiro

Does anyone have, as a step in copyediting, creating a concordance? eg, running "sort | uniq -c"?

That's brilliant and I shall do it nine times.

update: haven't done it nine times yet. It's still brilliant though.

Also, "rainment" should be "raiment".
