When you go about practicing from books, how do you do it? Do you just do what the book tells you to or do you copy all the plates? I feel like copying all the plates would kill me but at the same time a lot of books don't have sufficient exercises.

I do 1:1. 1 straight exercise, 1 regular drawing that tries to incorporate what I've learned from the exercise.
Along with that, factor in your own proficiency. If something is easy, don't bother with it, concentrate on stuff that's hard or taxing to do.
No real right answer. Just use it in a way that benefits you the most. Don't get impatient.
A lot of books don't have exercises at all, anyway.

i actually find the exercises in most art books pretty frustrating
