[B-Greek] LXX question

I've often heard that the LXX was the "official" Old Testament of both Jews and Christians around the time of Jesus. I'm wondering what the actual evidence for this is? Clearly it was widely used, and was the text used when the NT authors quoted the OT, but does it follow that there was no Hebrew Bibles, and that no Jew could read Hebrew at the time? Does it follow that Jesus could not read Hebrew and was educated in Greek?
I've only been able to find texts that make this above claim for the LXX, but don't give any detail to back it up. So I'm hoping someone here can help me fill in the details, or point me to a good book that can.
thanks,
Derek Flood
