As a rule, I don't write in books. Even in college I used sticky notes rather than making notes in the margins of books...except cookbooks! I write all over cookbooks. I make notes about the recipes (e.g. "too salty"or "Double it!"), record adjustments to the ingredient list, or my husband's comments about dinner ("Yum!"). Then, when I'm leafing back through the cookbook, uninspired about what to cook, I have my own advice and experience to guide me.
But mostly I cook from a binder of recipes that have been passed along from family and friends or clipped from magazines, the internet, or the newspaper. I put the clippings in plastic sleeves to protect them from drips or spills and organize them by season for easy reference.
