R Grant Jones has an interesting review of the OSB on his site Notes on the Septuagint
http://mysite.verizon.net/rgjones3/Septuagint/spindex.htm
I was disappointed with both the notes and the text once it had finally come out. The notes are often just an obvious restating of what one has just read but there are also a lot of good notes so it is a mixed bag. Also, the text itself is also a mixed bag, sometimes following the Septuagint and sometimes the Masoretic Text as the link above shows. Without additional study materials you can't be sure when you are reading the LXX or not. I still reference my OSB occasionally but use Brentons and the KJV along with the Ancient Christian Commentary series for most of my studies.
