Can anyone recommend an elegant and straightforward way so that I can share my address book from home with work without using .mac?
Much obliged!

Make a backup, email it over, and restore it?

Going to be tough finding anything as simple and elegant as .mac.

All I want to do is sync my address books - surely I don't have to subscribe to .mac for that??

you could do one way syncing using Interarchy and mirror downloading over SSH. That's what I'm doing w/ ical. The downside is that it's only 1 way syncing.

Using interarchy, it could just connect to the computer (via ssh or ftp or whatever) and sync the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder (i think). I'll have to try it here, as i want this too.
2 way syncing is going to be tough. you'd have to keep track of the individual changes in each file (the deltas) and sync them to each other, something I don't know if address book keeps track of.
i'm just guessing here though.
