Everything you need is written in a series of journals called "Bagua Journal".

You'll literally find everything you need in them, including the fact that Bow Sim Mark though still beautiful was quite a looker in her day.

You'll have to do your own hunting.

No contemporary wushu, just Pa Kua.

I have not seen them yet, but these DVD's sound like they may be pretty good:

http://plumpub.com/sales/dvd/dvdcoll_baguavarious.htm (several other Bagua DVD's, scroll down to "Bagua: The Art of Change", it looks pretty interesting)

Best thing is to find a teacher, and use these DVD's as a supplement to your training; learning purely from a video is very difficult. Good luck.

Yin style Baguazhang is also pretty well documented.
