Yeah. She is that old. I've had her for a long time. I graduated high school 6 years ago and I know I had her before I met my fiance 4 1/2 years ago so I'm thinking I got her Christmas 2007 at the very latest.
I don't remember her coming with a book. I displayed her with everything and I never displayed her with a book, but I dunno. It's been a very long time since I first got her. Haha.
Edit: That's the exact doll I have. She didn't come with a book.
