[B-Greek] GREEK OT Pseudepigrapha in English?

Does anyone out there know of a reliable English translation of the GREEK texts of the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha?
Accordance has compiled the Greek texts, and that there is a French concordance to the Greek OTP in print (quite a hefty book), but when correlating the Greek text to either Charles, Sparks or Charlesworth, one is faced with using an English translation of the Ethiopic, Coptic or Latin texts (and these don't always match a translation of the Greek). I know that often the Greek texts are fragmentary and the other versions are more "complete," but it would be helpful for the sake of background studies to have the actual fragmentary Greek texts in translation. Some texts are translated directly from the Greek in the English editions, so they are not a big deal, but others are quite a pain to put together (like Jubilees & Enoch)--especially if one's knowledge of extra-biblical Greek (or Ethiopic, etc.) is sub par (like myself).
If one exists...could you point me in the right direction...
If such a work does not exist, then does anyone out there think that such a compilation would be worthwhile?
It seems like this would be a great project for folks either in the seminary or the university working on their Greek!

Hi Jim,
I didn't know Denis' Concordance Grecque (ASIN 9004090215) was still in print. Where can one find a copy?
