Clive-Ross was the proprietor of the Aquarian Press until 1961 (he died in 1981). Clive-Ross became editor of the long-established Spiritualist journal Light. Under his editorship, the journal expanded its scope to include articles on occultism, comparative religion, and parapsychology, some of them highly critical and skeptical. The readership grew tired of his skepticism so he resigned and formed formed Perennial Books to specialize in metaphysics, philosophy, and religion. He is best known for being the founder, editor-in-chief and publisher of Studies in Comparative Religion.
