The complete lose comes toi mind. Should be part of every serious player's inventory. Some people also liked the Lazarus method as a supplement, but it's fairly old-school. Some of the David Hite books from Southern Music Publishing (the French School and German School studies) and the Baerman book are excellent.

Depends on what you term "intermediate." If you're looking for a better book than the Rubank Intermediate book, there aren't too many that will work. My favorite is the middle volume of the Student Instrument Course from Belwin. I actually prefer the first 2 books of this series over Rubank. Then I move the kids into Rubank Advanced V. 1 and if they don't have problems with rhythm/attitude, I move them on to Baermann pt 3 and Rose etudes.
If they do have attitude issues or it took them a LOT of effort to go through part 1 of the Advanced, I'll use the second book of Advanced or move them into the Baermann pt 3 and the "Melodious and Progressive Studies, Book 1."

Hite melodious progressive studies, then the Artistic Studies
Southern music publisher
Standard coursework with me. I really like the pieces in the melodious series as they are great for developing phrasing sense.

I, too, am not sure what you're looking for, but I heartily second the Klose nomination.
As for a more specific, progressive-method book, you might try one that I have used. Here's the blurb from Gary Van Cott's Web site:
Hendrickson Method for Clarinet Book Two by Clarence V. Hendrickson.
Belwin, 1942, SS, 52 pages.
Includes minor keys, scales and scale exercises (similar to Baermann Book 3), etudes and duets. Additional keys are introduced at the end of the book, but the primary focus here is building technique with progressive studies.

Both are good choices in the order mentioned.
With students a bit more on the intermediate side, I've used any of the following:
- Hovey "Second Book of Practical Studies for Clarinet (Belwin Mills)
- Clarinet Student - Level Three (Robert Lowry/Alfred Publishing)
- Supplementary Studies for Clarinet (R.M. Endresen/Rubank)
...GBK

My high school teacher Leon Lester has a few very good books also for those who can play some, but not many of the Hite studies. I use that as supplemental material.
Galper Book 1 and 2 to get to the Hite with Lester included if needed.

My students REALLY like his "60 Rambles for Clarinet". It keeps their interest pretty high since every page is something very different.

BTW - His "50 Rambles for Saxophone" is also excellent.

As a side consideration I've found the print quality of Southern Music books to be first rate. In contrast the Carl Fisher publications are like third generation photocopies. It's as if the photoliths for the plates were over exposed slightly.
Given a choice of a SMC version I'll take it every time knowing the printing will be sharp and clear.
