In the US, many public universities allow access to the public, including use of computer terminals that will allow access to paid databases. In many cases, you could bring in a usb stick and save copies of articles downloaded from such databases, or at worst you could pay a small fee to print some stuff out. AFAIK, that kind of access varies state by state though, so you need to call university libraries near you to find out.

I mean… If you don’t tell us where you live it’s kinda hard lol
My bad.
Australia (but I would have thought there were no borders online).
worldcat lists the institutions with this book https://search.worldcat.org/title/1048005393, you'll probably have to show up in person. You may be able to do an inter-library loan if your local library doesn't have the book, you could get it from a sister library. However, the only public library that lists having the book is the Austin Public library in Austin, Texas.
Generally speaking, Library Genesis, Anna's Archive and Sci-Hub are your friends :) Otherwise you can try to email the authors. They will probably provide you with a copy.
Not exactly what you’re asking, but it’s also worth checking your local library. Some of them grant their cardholders access to external sources that might overlap with what you’re after.
