It is very fragile (this book is probably 40 years old or more) so if the display method would somehow help protect/preserve it, excellent. Ideas?

40 years is nothing for a well-made book that has been stored reasonably. If it is already very fragile, then it wasn't printed on acid free paper, and will get worse unless you have it professionally preserved. don't know how much money you are willing to put into something like that.
