Not sure what you mean by "using a table". That would depend on what sort of tables you have available.

If $\log(N) = -1 + 0.52412$ then $N = 10^{-1}\times 10^{0.52412}$. My calculator gives $10^{0.52412} \approx 3.3428739$. So $N\approx 3.3428739 \times 10^{-1}.$
 
I provided a section of the table that is in the book.
