I have not seen the book myself, but the reviewer seems quite favorable to it as he writes:
"This small but handy manual for an extremely complex topic, originally slotted for a place in Sheffield/Continuums recently defunct Guides to the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha but now part of T&T Clark/Continuum's Understanding the Bible and Its
World series, is the third introduction to the Septuagint to appear in English in just four years after a nearly century-long hiatus."
"In spite of (a)few slips, this enjoyable introduction by a highly qualified and wellbalanced LXX scholar will fill a need. The work contains three handy indices and a seventeen-page bibliography, and for use as a textbook it has the added attraction of the Hebrew and Greek always being transliterated (and usually translated), with only a few highly technical discussions of actual texts."
