If I accidently delete a contact from my address book, can I restore just that contact using Time Machine?

How exactly is that done?

Thanks.
 
Open up Address Book (have it on top).

Click on the Time Machine icon on your dock.

Go back to where the contact still exists.

Click it.

Select 'Restore'.

Done. :)

OK thanks. I was getting a bit confused because there is a "restore" button and a "restore all" button. I just wanted to make sure hitting "restore" doesn't replace the entire address book.

No, just the one.

I just verified by deleting two and restoring just one. :)
