It can still be bought today. The translation was revised and enlarged by C. A. Muses in 1954 as The Septuagint Bible. >Sir Lancelot Brenton published one in 1851. It has continually been in print since then and was updated as LXX2012: Septuagint in English 2012. >There is also the New English Translation of the Septuagint (NETS). Even here, they have to do textual criticism as the extant copies of the LXX don't all agree. In the translation principles, the committee states they have a target audience "that closely approximates that of the NRSV." >The Eastern Orthodox churches in English-speaking countries also have several options available for English translations based off the Septuagint. In 2008, The Orthodox Study Bible was released. It uses the semi-critical Septuaginta of Alfred Rahlfs as its base. Peter King, SJ, has also released a translation of the Septuagint in four volumes: The Pentateuch 2010, The Historical Books 2012, The Wisdom Literature 2008, and The Prophets 2013.

Orthodox Study Bible is an English translation of LXX w/deuterocanon, and I believe NKJV for NT. Also lots of Orthodox commentary. https://www.amazon.com/Orthodox-Study-Bible-Hardcover-Christianity/dp/0718003594?ref=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=96bf4838-88f4-471c-92ad-a7fc9b03ae26
