I highly recommend:
'Jump Start Your Brain' by Doug Hall.
It has been several years since I read it and it is now missing from my 
library, but it is a real fun read and has many ideas and tools for 
brainstorming sessions. The only line I remember from the book, "As 
education increases, creativity decreases." ...And the wildest 
brainstorming technique I remember involved writing ideas on paper 
airplanes and circulating them throughout the room, with each person 
writing or adding an idea to a plane that lands near them.

Someone else mention Roger van Oech. He has a book 'A Whack on the Side 
of the Head' that is very good too. Jump Start is very similar, just a 
little thicker (more pages... more ideas).

Good Luck!!!
