It's been a while since I read Programming Clojure but my sense is that Clojure Programming from O'Reilly (Emerick, Casper, Grand) would give you more of what you're looking for, and possibly the 2nd Ed of Clojure in Action from Manning (don't buy the 1st Ed - it's very out of date and a lot of the examples won't run). Welcome to Clojure! We're using Clojure for a lot of our application model at World Singles - an Internet dating platform - so we're using it to interact with MySQL, MongoDB, third party web services, to do data transformation (mostly to/from XML, JSON), and so on. We're also using it for the back end of a chat server (built around Netty and a Socket.IO server library). Happy to answer any questions about "real world usage" either on or off-list!
