The books that gave me some much-needed relief from beating my head against the Book of Thoth were:
The Qabalistic Tarot by Robert Wang
The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages by Paul Foster Case
A Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism by Gareth Knight
The Mystical Qabalah by Dion Fortune
Kabbalistic Aphorisms by James Sturzaker
Q.B.L by Frater Achad (Charles Stansfeld Jones - Crowley's "Magical Child")
They aren't Thoth-centric (although Wang's is sympathetic), or even all tarot-centric, but they provide a more traditional GD-inspired overview of the qabalistic concepts that Crowley bends to his own purposes. They were all time well-spent and sent me back to the BoT with a better feel for what it is about.
