Paul Graham's On Lisp is available for free here: http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html
It is definitely focused on Common Lisp, not Clojure, and there are differences between the way symbols and namespaces (Clojure) and packages (Common Lisp) are handled in those two languages that make some Common Lisp macro issues a non-issue in Clojure. However, given all that, it is a good book, and worth read in my opinion if you are interested in what Lisp style macros can do for you. If you Google search for something like Graham "On Lisp" Clojure, I believe one or more people have published the results of their efforts to translate the examples in the book to Clojure.
