The latest version allows you to specify email address in GoogleApi.GetContacts method:

GoogleApi google = new GoogleApi(accessToken);
XmlDocument document = google.GetContacts(userEmail);

Remember to authorize both scopes (https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/, https://mail.google.com/) at:
https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/[your domain]/ManageOauthClients

AssertionFlowClient provider = new AssertionFlowClient(server, certificate)
{
    ServiceAccountId = serviceAccountEmail,
    Scope = string.Join(" ", new[] {GoogleScope.ImapAndSmtp.Name, GoogeScope.ContactsScope.Name}),
    ServiceAccountUser = userEmail,
};
