I wrote on this some time ago when encountering the same problem.  My 
'solution' is as home-spun as yours:

.	export selected data from addressbook into a .csv file (this lets you select
	data by categories, too)
.	import data into an OO database and work from thereon on further selection
	criteria (thru queries, for example) and on appearance.

I wished there were a more intelligent way to do this.  Good luck,

Bernd Gliss
