Also PPers might start working on difficult stuff if they are not distracted by an endless supply of easy Campfire Girls.
PPers as well as proofers work on the sorts of books that they enjoy, or feel competent to do. If you ordered one of the PPers who work on the Not Quite Nancy Drew books to work on the Kashf-al-Mahjub, I suspect you'd have an unhappy PPer and a sub-standard output. I did a lot of the proofing on the Kashf-al-Mahjub. The work was demanding. What I knew of Islamic history and philosophy, as well as Arabic and Persian languages, was absolutely essential. -- Karen Lofstrom
