If you right click to select each page view on your computer and do "Control C" (no quotes) you should end up with a copy of the image, and then you can paste it into a new page (Control N) in Photoshop or Word or any number of programs. For another screen shot capture method you can go into your Windows "all programs" (assuming you have the good sense to use Windows!) and in the Accessories open Snipping Tool. (I would first mouse over, right click, and send a shortcut to your desktop.) If you click on Snipping Tool it makes the whole screen look kind of milky and you move your cursor to the upper corner of what you want to save, select the part of the image you want, and when you let go of the mouse you have the image to save as a jpg or png. After you save it your computer will let you print it when you open it in the resident Microsoft photo viewer software.
The public library appears to have not allowed any way to save the whole or partial file to a computer. You might alternately to to a public library that pays for database access and look for the file in JSTOR and from there you COULD save the PDF to your computer or a thumb drive, then print the pages desired. Scanned books are sometimes redundant, to be found in different sites and will have different settings as far as print or download are concerned. Even Google Books may have this. If it is old enough, they might have it as a free book.
If you discover that it is in JSTOR or another site that requires a fee for an individual user, go ahead and post the citation here and I'll see if I can grab it through my university library databases and send you a copy.
