A trick that I am implementing (one that I learned from an internet millionaire) is this:

Get a blank piece of paper and a pencil or pen, then either print out or have the copy you are studying on your computer, now hand-write (handwriting it is better apparently...and for me it seems to give me more time to find the gold nuggets) the whole thing.

That gives you real time, real life practice on the pros copywriting right there haha.

Get on some email newsletters of some top notch guys and study that stuff for free!

This letter by Gary Halbert is a great place to start for book recommendations and how to learn copywriting.

Also, it's not a book, but I highly recommend this program called Copy Hour.
http://copyhour.com/

I did it and I believe the best program I took in terms of business education.

I can personally recommend anything by John Carlton. His manuals were one of the best investments I ever made.
