I'm much as above really - all the receipts in a wallet or folder, sorted into date order.
Basically I keep paperwork in the same manner that I like to see it on any cars that I buy, and in a manner that I hope buyers would appreciate - not that I tend to sell many cars and the few that I do I don't think anyone has bothered looking at the paperwork! To me, a wallet full of receipts is more valuable and informative than a handful of stamps in a book, but seemingly I'm in the minority as the later is all most seem to care about, particularly on anything newer.
It might be coincidence, but of the cars that I've bought, owners who have been religious in keeping paperwork tend to be selling cars in better condition and with less bodges and evidence of scrimping. My most recent 205 GTi purchase had a frankly scary three(!) box files full of paperwork he'd built up over 20 years with pretty much everything you can think of in there somewhere - although as scary as the volume of paperwork was, it wasn't as scary as mentally adding up the amount that he'd spent over the years...
