If you have no prior lisp experience then I would recommend Clojure Programming as the starting point - http://www.clojurebook.com/

I found it to be the best beginner book on Clojure and one of the best written programming language books I've come across in a while.

Programming Clojure would be a good followup. I found that Clojure Programming gives the "how" of the language and Progamming Clojure gives the "why", if that makes sense.

Clojure in Action is good, but it is definitely an "In Action" book. Depends on your learning style. I've only skimmed the Joy Of Clojure. It looks really good too but I don't think it's targeted at beginners. Could be wrong.



You are right that The Joy of Clojure is for developers with some prior experience in Clojure and it explains the "why" of the language even further.
