I've been looking into getting a rule book on the planes for a campaign set in the realms, but I couldn’t find any fr specific material, is there any?

The most information available on the planes is in "Player's Guide to Faerun"

If you have or are gonna get older FR material, you might wanna consider using Planescape sources together with what can be found at www.planewalker.com. It can be hard to get hold of, but is well worth it. Imo it's some of the very best stuff from a golden age of rpg. I really wish someone would buy the license and resurrect the setting :/.

Depends on what version of the planes you like. Some argue that the older version is much more consistent and fits in better with almost every other source. Not to mention that while the PGtF does a decent job of describing the planes, it does little to integrate other material into it's cosmology.

Players Guide to Faerun has the best most current information about the new planar setup. There is a little bit in the FRCS too.

Here is a link to a thread elsewhere on these boards with some plot hooks and discussion about incorporating the 3E FR Cosmology and FR planes into your campaign and it includes a list of monster encounters for each plane:
