Answers:
There are several ways!.
The cheapest method is to polybag it with a cardboard backing to help prevent bending and folding!. I wouldn't recommend this method, however!. Polybags have been known to degrade artwork over time!.
Second, you can have it mounted in a clear, acrylic case/frame!. While more expensive than polybagging or picture frames, it will preserve the artwork for much longer, and is much, much better at preventing unwanted folds/bends, and keeping outside elements from degrading the work!. You could choose to have a professional mount it for you, or you can mount it yourself!. This is the method that I would recommend!.
Finally, you could buy a simple picture frame of an adequate size, and put it in there!. Unlike mounting it inside of clear acrylic, however, there is a higher chance that outside elements (dust, insects, etc!.) could degrade the artwork!. This is the middle ground between polybagging and acrylic containers, and the best solution if you're on a budget but want something more effective than polybagging!.

I would advise you to have the page matted by a professional, rather than trying to mount it yourself!. You can probably have the piece matted for twenty dollars, without any danger to the work itself!. Any art supply store should be able to matt the page for you, or give you the phone number of someone dependable who could!.
The work is probably an excellent investment!. What do you have a page from and who is the artist(s)!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
