Is there any way to have more than one Address book per user?

One of our people has synched her address book and iCal with her boss to manage 
it, but she needs one for her own addresses. I've looked around and there's 
lots of stuff about sharing address books with multiple people, but nothing 
about one person having multiple address books.

Bet those apps will blindly follow symlinks.  Set up two trees - one of her 
files and one of her boss'ss Use a script to quit the apps, switch symlinks, 
launch apps...

And in a week she'll come crying to me that somehow one address book got 
synched over the other or they're both melded now. This is for the Dean of the 
College, he has a HUGE address book.

Looks like she'll be using Thunderbird.


Thunderbird was what I was going to recommend. It will let you keep multiple independent users and address books. I'm using the Eudora beta 8.0b9 in 10.6.3, which is built on Thunderbird 3.0.1, and it's pretty darned stable.
