Can't speak on the exercises you seek, but best composition book I've ever come across is David Cope's Techniques of the Contemporary Composer.
Might have to dig around the web for an affordable copy, though.
I like Cope's - Techniques of the Contemporary Composer.
Some of it is a little outdated. I think score study of works you really like is what will be the most fruitful.
Here's some other stuff for people interested:
Joe Straus' Introduction to Post Tonal Theory
Introduction to Electro-Acoustic Music by Barry Schrader
Samuel Solomon's How to Write for Percussion
Rothenberg and Ulvaeus' Book of Music and Nature
Cope's Techniques of the Contemporary Composer is okay.
My favorite orchestration book is actually the Blatter
Composing Electronic Music by Curtis Roads is a very good new electronic book
The Rest is Noise by Alex Ross
On Sonic Art by Trevor Wishart
This is a good, basic book, which covers just about everything. Techniques of the Contemporary Composer-
