Click on the three-dot menu in each swatch for more options:

 

Here's the "Full Screen" option as an example.

I have this extension and it's better than swatches:

You install it from here, and it shows up under Window > Extensions in Photoshop

I think it's much more larger and detailed than a swatch library or color book.

Click on the swatch you want and it will transfer to the foreground color.

Hi

 

If Pantone has an .ASE file available for this swatch book, you can download it and open it from the Swatches panel menu. The seem to have a new app for this, and you might try it:

Contact Pantone for questions on the app, and let us know how it goes. ASE files can also be opened in InDesign and Illustrator.
