I need a second, separate address book, that syncs with Google Contacts from work, just as you have one in your screenshot under “Work (Exchange)”. I don’t want to sync my local address book “On My Mac” as it is private.

Anyway, I think there just is no way right now. Thank you again!

On the Accounts tab click on "On my Mac". You will see checkboxes for Yahoo and Google. When you click them you will be prompted for your username password. Now Google (or Yahoo) contacts will sync to your Mac.</p> <p>http://cl.ly/3Y25331b3v2W433t0n0q</p> @brother_t Launch the Address Book app. Now bring up the “Preferences” for AddressBook.
