Generally on sale hei teves
For how much? Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining on $6.15/vol
It's been going for $180 by sellers outside of 770 (on ה טבת). Haven't checked recently though.
the sellers outside of 770 sell sets with a significantly worse binding etc.
Without getting into the politics, there is 2 versions, within each version the quality is the same.
politics aside, in my experience the blue set has a better binding.If you feel otherwise then so be it

do you recommend Vaads over Kehot for quality?
Kehot, by far.
