I can vouch for this being a good continuation book for a beginner.  I found
this book very helpful.  The front portion spells out a number of exceptions
to normal classical Greek grammar in the Septuagint while the back two
thirds provides guided reading assignments.  Each includes a brief
introduction to the story and a description of unusual features at the
bottom of each page.  In the back is a scriptural & ancient text index that
points you to the section of the grammar that particular verses are
discussed, a vocabulary, and an index of words discussed.
