Programming Clojure is an introductory book that provides an overview of the language and its functional heritage/constructs. I'd say its the "First" Clojure book.
JoC is the next step - it does offer a good look into Clojure, but from Ch 7, aims to go deeper into higher level constructs - macros, protocols, reify et al as well as concurrency. There's a lot of new 1.2 stuff that wasn't developen when PC came out.
The third book, Clojure in Action, is going to be excellent insight into the very practical, deployment, editing and interfacing aspects of the language. (Things like DSLs, web services, et al).
