Default Sets and Reps... pros and cons?

Ive bought a Bodybuilding book to help me with excesizes and it mentions a lot about doing:

3 sets of 8 reps. (fictional example)

What is the best way to do this? Is 2 sets of 12 the same? Or 1 set of 24?

Why do it in small sets instead of just lifting to failure on one set?

At teh moment i am just doing 10 - 15 of each excersize twice per day, but that seems to be against all written advice i can find.

Help
