It has been a number of years since I have trained with a bo. Can anyone recommend a good review book/video to get back into the weapon kata?

Or if nothing good comes to mind - anything to stay away from?

Thank you

Fumio Demura Sensei (Shito Ryu) has both a book and a video called, simply, Bo. The book is subtitled Karate Weapon of Self Defense, but I don't know if the video is.

Both are available by mail-order through Black Belt Magazine.

There is another video called "Bo" that is actually about Aiki-jo, and is produced by Panther Productions; be careful if you order the first that you don't get this one by mistake.
