Currently there is (afaik) one completed Clojure book available:

Programming Clojure by Stuart Halloway.

Two are being written and partially available at Manning:

The Joy of Clojure by Fogus and Houser
Clojure in Action by Amit Rathore

Another one is about to be published in May:

Practical Clojure (The Definitive Guide) by Luke Van der Hart

Are these books more or less the same and meant as a general introduction to Clojure? Does it make sense to buy them all, or is there a risk of having three very similar books?

Will there be books that go into more specialized areas of Clojure and targetted for 'intermediate' or 'advanced' Clojure programmers?

I'm attempting to use deftype (from the bleeding-edge clojure 1.2 branch) to create a java class that implements the java Servlet interface.
