An excellent English translation of the Five Books of Moses is "The Living
Torah", by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, published by Maznaim Publishing Corp. of N.Y.
It has excellent footnotes, as well as explanatory pictures and diagrams.
The translation is clear and easy to read, and is based upon the explanations
of traditional Jewish Commentators.  It is aimed at the educated
person who wants a comprehensible translation, which is faithful to
traditional Jewish sources.

It should be at any good Jewish book store or Synagogue gift shop.
I highly recommend it.  It's available in both hard and soft cover.
