Skinner and Rankine do some great translations of traditional grimoires.
The Goetia of Dr Rudd might be right up your alley if Goetia is your interest. It is a great translation of multiple manuscripts that often get lumped together under the title of "goetia."
I also recommend Techniques of Graeco-Egyptian Magic. While it isn't actually a grimoire it is an eye opening work that breaks down how to understand older grimoires (specifically the Greek Magical Papyri).
I have heard great things about Jake Straton-Kent's work but only just barely cracked one of his open so can't actually confidently recommend it yet.
And if you want a book that has both Grimoire and in-depth working of that grimoire with advice and experiences of the author I 'm happy to recommend Gateways Through Stone and Circle, Ceremonial Magic & The Power of Evocation, and [The Key to Solomon's Key] (https://www.amazon.com/Key-Solomons-This-Symbol-Masonry/dp/1888729287/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483818437&sr=1-1&keywords=key+to+solomons+key), all of which are not the best translations but great working guides (and come with softer price tags to boot)
Have a solid understanding of symbol, scent, color and planetary correspondences are an essential start.
Have the right incense, do the proper cleansing, creation of complementary or protective layman and talismans as well as getting your god of the hour and god of the day sorted are also essential.
I would dig into a multiple of Dr Steven Skinner works.
If you're not familer with Dr Skinner i would recommend the following videos and podcasts.
