Chosen solution

Hold the control key while dragging the contact between books. You will see a plus sign appear to indicate copy instead of move.

You can also create Mailing Lists inside Address Book to be used to address group emails. Here is the info for that. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Create_Mailing_List
