20 schillings = 1 pound
1 guinea = 21 schillings
1 guinea in 1937 = 41 pounds in 2002
41 pounds in 2005 = $78.00 US in 2005
3 guineas = about $234.00 to you and me = the cost of all our Virginia Woolf books for 2 students. But then again, have book prices inflated? Or does it just seem like it?

I think everyone still in that class(and reading that book) would be far better off getting 3 guinea...pigs.
they're adorable little things.
Sean, I think I agree. I used to have one. The only expectation it had for me... was love (oh yeah-- and cleaning its cage).
