The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible is the first full English translation of the Hebrew Canon fragments found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The work comprises the biblical manuscripts, plus many new Psalms, Apocryphal books, and previously unknown readings of Deuteronomy and Isaiah. The translation of each book is preceded by an introduction that describes the text's importance, their distinctive interpretations of the text, and suggestions of how historical and political events may have shaped these interpretations.
This isn't a complete text as such, but 'portions' of most books that make up the Hebrew Scriptures. Now, while you appear to be looking for a DSS English translation that cross references 'portions' to Canonical books/verses, The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible provides English translations of those 'portions' and footnotes the parts of the DSS scrolls in which they are found. So in effect, you get the desired cross references in reverse form.

I have The Dead Sea Scrolls: A New Translation which covers (nearly) all the scrolls that aren't part of the Bible, and The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible, which translates the DSS versions of books that are found in the Bible. They have some useful commentary as well.
I think you would be able to find both in most large bookstores.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are not completely different. The differences are very minor. You can pick this book up Dead Sea Scrolls Bible. Its a great translation and notes EVERY subtle difference word for word.
The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible is a handy reference for this.

There are significant differences in many of the Qumran scrolls from the Masoretic Text. I've seen claims that state otherwise, but as far as I can tell they have no basis in fact. Abegg, Flint, and Ulrich, in their English translation of the scrolls extant by 2002 footnote every single verse to indicate whether the verse agrees or disagrees with the Masoretic Text or the Septuagint. In a vast number of cases it disagrees with the Masoretic Text and agrees with the Septuagint. It should also be pointed out that there also a large number of verses that agree neither with the Masoretic Text nor the Septuagint.
Another complication of the Masoretic Text is that it simply isn't clear what the Hebrew actually means in many verses. These are footnoted, for example, in the Oxford JPS Study Bible. There are hundreds of such verses (maybe thousands - I never counted all of them). In some English versions (e.g. RSV, NIV), the translators footnote some of these verses and give the Septuagint translation as an alternate meaning. It is hard to say that the Masoretic Text is authoritative when even Jewish Bible scholars aren't sure what the text means.
What do you mean they have not been released? You can get a Dead Sea Scroll Bible! ;)
The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible is probably the best lay-resource. It's structured strongly around the Masoretic text which some say gives the impression the texts are closer than they are, but does include many of the variants annotated in the text and decent notes on the state of each book.
There's also plenty of books that compare the main sources we already had, the LXX (Greek translation of the NT from a similar date) and the Masoretic text and the differences they have that we already knew about. The book I recommended here also notes the LXX, and how the Dead Sea Scrolls sometimes favor that. Wikipedia has a few basic things to say about that also which might be useful.
