Yours frustratingly Rob

Once you have selected 'Write' and that screen opens, you can turn on/off the 'Contacts' sidebar with F9. Near the top of that sidebar you can select which Address Book to display. The sidebar will persist next time you write a message as well.

Sounds like you are looking for the Contact Sidebar in the Write window. Open a Write window and press F9.
