It is indeed a good book. Not sure about being standard, but it allowed me to get into QC while I was only a second year (math) undergrad. But it's very basic and skims on many details in both maths and physics.

As for your problem, I looked it up in my printed version and it looks a bit different. Here's a pic from the equivalent pdf.

Solution is pretty straightforward. You can either write out the operator explicitly as a 8x8 matrix (I assume you know how to calculate a tensor product of two matrices). Or you can express the rotation gate through the T-gate and Hadamard gate. Another option is to write out the general 3-qubit state and see how the coefficients change with every step. I'll probably recommend the latter approach as it's computationally feasible and simple.

Never used a solution manual so can't help you there.
