I encourage everyone to have a look at this resource. It is very readable and combines the results of numerous papers and researches. It is much more readable than "The Septuagint in Context: Introduction to the Greek Version of the Bible" and I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in Septuagint research.
This following one is also quite important, because there are often mistaken assumptions about what the "Septuagint" actually is and how we should use "it":

Thank you, David; I'd not noticed. And signed up.
I'm also signed up for https://www.logos.com/product/55836/tt-clark-companion-to-the-septuagint mainly out of curiousity. Plus the LXX commentary, but I might walk on that one. Will see.
Thanks Denise! I missed this one somehow and got it now.
I was able to find chapters of that on Academia.edu.The orientation is different. You turn to the T&T companion when you work on a certain book (say Exodus) and you want a quick survey of the research relating to the Septuagint of that book. Each chapter is a survey of a single biblical book. I don't think it is intended to be read cover to cover, unlike Jellicoe's SMS.
Each chapter is a survey of a single biblical book.
Only in the Hebrew Bible and the Apocrypha. There are no chapters dedicated to discussing the use of the LXX in NT books.
Thank you, David (again!). I kind of guessed that, though how much depth ... I'll have to wait and see. I don't need more light intro's. Maybe the summary of opinions.
The volume you recommended, I wish were already in the development stage ... ah, prepubs. I'll wait awhile, and then probably go Amazon. That's what I had to do with the OT and NT. Logos avoids text criticism books, unless historical.
