Should I provide alternate text content for a Flash flipbook?

I am providing a free book to users via two methods: straight PDF download, and a Flash flipbook with sound (powered by the excellent free script, Megazine3). Neither of these is a textual representation, because this is a handmade scanned book where every page is, and has to be, one big image. So, from a content/SEO perspective, this setup is less than ideal.

I would like to present alternate text content to the Flash animation, which would be seen only by user agents lacking Flash capability - presumably including search engine bots. This alternate text would be the complete text of each page of the book. However, I'm apprehensive about getting nailed by Google for cloaking. Any thoughts/alternate approaches?

Thanks.
