I'm not a book editor, and with my grammar and spelling skills, one might say that's a very good thing. However, most of my clients are in publishing (magazine and newspaper) which have editors so it might be close enough.
I seriously doubt you'd be hired on the spot as a book editor with no prior experience, so what you want to do is get experience.
Look for internships with publishers, you might start lower on the chain of command (and pay) as a copy editor but you'd work your way up. Internships would be your foot in the door to see if it's really waht you want to do.
