Sounds like you might have the right method but the wrong technique.

Ensure your alignments are correct.

Ok. I have left this book on my shelf for months out of sheer frustration. Returned to it yesterday. Tried the same puzzle WITH THE CORRECT TECHNIQUE and still not getting the right result, and still no way to get the actual solution if you are stuck??????? This takes the enjoyment out of the book. While the idea was good, the execution is shoddy, and puzzles like page 29 are too random. Even solving it geometrically doesn t help, so what is left is stumble accidentally on to the right numbers????

Poor choice. This book goes into the paper waste bin classified as poorly executed time waster.

I do hope somebody else picks up this concept and gets it right.

To the makers of this book: too bad....this could have been great

This puzzle is quirky and frankly not well done. Its a nice idea with a poor execution, so below is a graded hint system leading to the final answer. And no, you don't need an iPhone to solve it :P
Spoiler!
1) At the top of the page is a diagram that should be familiar to Apple customers--it's the upper back panel of a newer iPhone. The little white circle is the flash on the phone, and the symbol with the arrow alerts us to this. You can skip this if you don't have a phone with a flashlight and still solve the puzzle tho.
Spoiler!
2) Now, there are 3 line/flash/letter images on the page-- an 'a' one, a 'b' one, and a 'c' one. The line (incidentally) happens to match the width of an iphone 6. If you place an iPhone flash-down onto one of the 3 lines and turn on the flashlight, it will light up the page in the given direction you are pointing. If you don't have a phone with a light on it, just grab a small ruler or pencil or something straight.
Spoiler!
3) With the light shining across the page, put a pen/pencil standing on-end in the circle in the middle of the page. As you do, a shadow will be cast leading away from the light source, and the shadow will fall on a number. If you don't have a light, just take a ruler/pen/pencil and put one end on the 'light' symbol on the page, and then lay it so it covers the circle in the middle of the page. You will notice that it goes from the light symbol, through the circle, and leads right to a number.
Spoiler!
4) Using this technique, the 'a' diagram leads to 48, the 'b' leads to 36, and the 'c' leads to 51. As the page directs, A x B x C = 48 x 36 x 51 = 88128. Which is the answer.

my phone calculator wrote 1,000 instead of 1000 so my first try was wrong ... not good habit to copy paste

If you're having trouble with the flash...there is another way using just the pencil...the answerds are in alignment from those spots.
