This is a very good intro book. I skipped the emacs chapter and there was no dependency to emacs through the rest of the book. I used light table. I enjoyed the exercises, there is a good level of complexity and the author often suggests and helps to reimplement some core functions of clojure. It took me about two weeks to complete the book entirely (on the evenings and a bit more on the weekends) with no previous experience in functional programming. I was dragged into the book really quickly, more than 2 other books I started to read about Clojure (on which I gave up quickly).
I also bought the paperback version to support the author but I was a bit disappointed on the quality.
Overall I highly recommend this book as an intro to FP with clojure. Thanks a lot for writing this book.
