Seagull Book, formerly called Seagull Book & Tape, is an American retail chain bookstore focusing on products for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), with over two dozen stores in Utah, Idaho, Arizona, and Nevada.[2] It was the second-largest LDS bookstore until its acquisition by market-leader Deseret Book in 2006, after Seagull has continued to operate as a discount chain distinct from Deseret Book branded retail stores.[citation needed]
