Schnerdlites was an apazine published by Nigel Lindsay for OMPA. Reviewing #3 in Camber #5 (August 1955), Alan Dodd said:
'Lindsay's Ludicrous Literature' says the subtitle and so it is. In this you will find yourself embroiled in all the weird organisations that Nigel keeps creating. The Romily Fan Dancers and the Torbay Lampshade Makers, for instance. Strictly a one-man nonsense zine produced for Ompa and available to various fan editors. Good art section and bright cover make a far greater improvement on either of the first two issues.
There was also a Schnerdlites Hole-Boring Supplement in 1956. It's a little unclear whether this was also produced by Lindsay or by Archie Mercer.
