Many people say that the *Joy of Clojure* is best for fine details and all that, and there's something right about that claim. However, *Clojure Programming* covers some fine details that *Joy *doesn't even mention, even in the 2nd edition (e.g. important aspects of Java interop). I suspect that *Clojure Programming* could work well as an introduction for an experienced programmer, too, although I haven't tried to read it with that in mind. (Every book makes choices about what to include; no doubt there are fine details that *Joy* covers better than *C.P.*)
