The La Editorial Catolica publishes the Sixto-Clementine Vulgate. First
make sure which version suits you best, before you buy anything! There
is also a modern Latin translation circulating; interesting for those who
like to read the Bible in Latin, but useless for mediaevalists and
historians. The modern critical edition of Jerome's Vulgate by B. Fisher
and others is printed by the Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft in Stuttgart,
1979. They come in one volume now too.
Any good bookshop should have one in the bible section.
