The edition I use is Wise/Abegg/Cook, which I switched to after deciding that my trusty Vermes was a bit stilted and not easy enough to navigate for as frequently as I consult the Dead Sea Scrolls (which lately has been just about weekly); I'm not too familiar with Martinez but see it cited enough in academic literature to make me think it wouldn't be a bad choice either.
What your mom might really enjoy, though, is Catholic scholar John Bergsma's recent book Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls: Revealing the Jewish Roots of Christianity. (Haven't read it myself, but Bergsma's reputation carries some heft.)
