That sounds like you're talking about doing it by hand?

If so, I think you're badly underestimating how cross-reference
heavy (i.e. index and glossary entries) this book is; that's a
staggering amount of work.

More importantly, the problem with by-hand changes is that it's hard
to demonstrate that the *content* hasn't changed.  I would
definitely consider the burden of proof that the text is all the
same to be on you in that case.
