How can I put a contact in two or more Address Books without making a 'new contact' for each?

I would like to put several of my contacts in more than one Address Book; but, if I move them (drag'n'drop) from one they no longer remain in the original Book...which I want. I'd like to segregate different interest groups and file them in separate Address Books, but many of my contacts fit in several Address Book identities. Any solution to keep from having to make whole new contact addresses for existing contacts? Thanks for any help you might offer..... NJR
