Swete "Septuagint"?

I have the Original Languages library.  I'm considering an upgrade.  I notice that Scholars library (and higher) says it includes Swete's "Septuagint."  I'm am not aware of such a title.  This must be Swete's "Introduction to the Old Testament in Greek" which is currently in pre-pub and is a well regarded tome on the Septuagint.  Can some kind soul (who has already upgraded to v.4) confirm this for me?  Thank you.

    Like you, I have OLL and was interested when I saw this.  My guess is that it is the 3 volume Cambridge edition talked about here: http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/ioscs/editions.html

    It's actually the LXX, plus apparatus and alternates.
