do you make the same picks at different books?

I don't really see a point in doing so unless you maxed it out at one, or the line available now is better than what you bet at the other site.
I should be better about it, but I mainly stick to 1-2 books, and only go to the others for wagers on 2nd half TT or other stuff that some books don't have.

Also be careful, I could see it being really easy to bet $200 on it at 3 or 4 different sites, and then realize you've got almost 1k riding on that game.

If I'm confident about it, ofcurse I would, but still try to risk the amount you wish to risk in the first place... like tto mention in the post above me... ^^

Why or why not?

This is the first year I'm line shopping, multiple books is a new concept to me.

If you can get the same price at multiple books (and its the top price in the market) it is handy to spread your bet around a bit too for the purposes of flying under the radar if you are a winner. That is say you want to bet $400 on a particular game you could fire in $200 at each book. Again needs to be the top price (or damn near to it) in the market.
