Default Looking for English version of Septuagint in print

I looked on Amazon, but I didn't exactly see what I was looking for.

Is there a good modern translation of the Greek, with notes?

I see this:

http://www.amazon.com/Septuagint-Ver...8314148&sr=8-8

But there are no comments, so I'm not sure about it.

There is also this:

http://www.amazon.com/Septuagint-Apo...8314148&sr=8-1

But it appears to be the 19th century translation, with no notes.

Then there is this:

http://www.amazon.com/APOSTLES-BIBLE...8314148&sr=8-6

But it has bad reviews, plus I don't care about the NT, and I'd like notes.

This DSS translation looks interesting, does anyone know anything about it?

Lancelot Brenton's translation is now out of copyright and available online.

Right, that is what I have been using. I was wondering if there was anything better than this?

Yeah, I plan to buy this in print when the Oxford Press puts it out. In the mean time, a link to this resource this may make for a good sticky.

Good news indeed. Brenton's is getting a little long in the tooth.
