I try to get my hands on as many resources from the above as possible. I often found some (generally more advanced) works not to dwelve enough into some intricate, but essential, topics which were better covered in other resources. Also, the toolset evolves quickly so online resources are indispensable. If I had to pick only one, it probably would be Clojure Programming (Emerick et al.) because it seems to be the most comprehensive. Lispcast series is also an excellent hands-on approach.
A Clojure/script Coursera.org offering IMO would be fantastic and another great catalyst in bringing Clojure to the masses...
