One address book for several email accounts

Over the years my wife & I have generated seven email addresses that we use for an assortment of purposes. With Outlook (which we are trying to move from) we had a single address book that was common to all the emails. As we started from the other end this time (opening the 7 existing email accounts first); we see that each email has the option to establish its own address book. Our question is this: Can we establish a single address book that will be the default for all 7 emails? The individual address books for each email identity may have their place later, but we would prefer to migrate existing contacts to a destination that will be a common source for all 7 email addresses; as this is how we've operated in the past. Thank you all in advance for your assistance!

A TB profile can have several accounts, but the address books are available for all accounts in the profile. So, I don't know where you see the option of having address books for each account, unless the address books are synced with each account's network contacts, as with e.g. gmail Contacts or outlook.com People. The default address books in TB are Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses, and contacts from other address books can be moved by drag and drop (hold Ctrl to copy instead of move).
