I've never done it, but I've heard so much about it that I'm curious to try. Various bios have it that Hunter S. Thompson copied all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" and Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" to learn their styles, although I think he did it on a typewriter. Interesting note about the copying-by-hand exercise.
