Two notes about this edition:
1] While this is --so far as I know-- the only complete translation of the
LXX into English available, it is about a century old. This is less
important for the English than the underlying Greek text, which is
considered inferior to Rahlfs' more recent edition, available from the
UBS.
2] If you do choose to get Brenton's translation, CBD in Peabody Mass
usually offers the volume for about 1/2 of the list price.
