You are probably better off splitting up each book into separate SOLR documents, one document per paragraph (each document with same book ID, ISBN, etc.). Then you can use field-collapsing on the book ID to return a single document per book. And you can use highlighting to show the paragraph that matched the query. You will need to "store" the full-text in SOLR in order to use highlighting feature and/or to return the text in the search results.
