This is a revised version of the translation of the LXX by Sir Lancelot Brenton. Please note that this translation, although the best available at the moment (other Bibles like the NKJV are translated from the Jewish OT, and so are not as good), it nevertheless contains a lot of errors.
Even worse, the editor of the Apostles Bible has chosen to remove the Deuterocanonical books of Scripture (which begs the question as to why he bothered to translate the LXX in the first place). For this reason I'd recommend you get Brenton's original translation, which contains most of the Deuterocanon, as opposed to this revised edition. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0913573442/ref=pd_bxgy_text_b/103-4665882-8163830?ie=UTF8
There will be an Orthodox translation of the LXX coming out around Pascha 2007, this will be far more reliable than the Lancelot Brenton translation. Here's the link for the Orthodox Study Bible, LXX: http://www.lxx.org/
There is another very good Orthodox translation of the LXX being worked on at the moment by Peter Papoutsis, called The Holy Orthodox Bible. However, he told me that he is currently lacking funds and so far only the Books of Moses (Penateuch) are available for purchase: http://www.peterpapoutsis.com/volume1.htm

For the New Testament the most accurate translation is the Orthodox New Testament, published by the Holy Apostles Convent:
