It depends on the audience I guess. I've bought "Practical Clojure" but I 
found its minimalism a little too... minimal to my experience at the time. 
I was (an in many ways I still am) a nearly total novice on fp and Clojure, 
and although it's a very good and concise introduction to Clojure I don't 
think I was in its target audience.

Instead, I found quite useful "Programming Clojure" 2nd edition (By Stuart 
Halloway and Aaron Bedra). It's more comprehensive and rich with examples 
while staying quite lean (less than 260 pages). It also has an entire 
chapter devoted to the entire process and tooling to write a small albeit 
significant application.

I've also recently bought "Clojure Programming" by Chas Emerick, Brian 
Carper and Christophe Grand. This is, well, *bigger* (630 pages long!) but 
in the few pages I've read I already appreciate the style.

BTW: they are all good books, it's just a matter of taste, learning style 
and experience I guess.
