Stop sharing address books between accounts

I recently added a Gmail account to my laptop (in addition to my regular Comcast account). After the addition, I noticed the Gmail account has the same address book at the Comcast account. I do NOT want this to be the case. How do I fix this? I want to end up with all my old addresses in the Comcast account and no addresses in the Gmail account (so I can start building a separate Gmail account address book)

Address books are defined per profile, for all accounts, not for individual accounts. You can create separate profiles for the Comcast and gmail accounts, if necessary. It's also possible to sync your Google Address Book with the TB Address Book with TbSync.
