Where are daedric motifs dropping these days, is it still in the Cadwell gold section of the game or any VR zone, and are they in containers away from inns or as probable in any container?
The rules for finding the purple motifs have not changed.
Barbaric and Primal are still only found in the VR1-5 zones.
Ancient Elves and Daedric are still only found in the VR6-10 zones.
You have a chance to find the books in any backpack, cabinet, cupboard, desk, dresser, nightstand, trunk or wardrobe. You may be able to find them in urns but I cannot confirm that. Any location with one of these items - be it a bank, a castle, a delve, a dungeon, a house or some remote location in the middle of nowhere - could contain one of these books. It makes no difference in the location of the container.
You will not find the books in barrels, crates or sacks.
