A Good Book or Comprehensive Article About Biases?

Serious Q: Can you recommend a book or large article describing types of biases -- including but beyond the usual ones (confirmation, loss aversion, hindsight, etc.)? Very important to book I'm revising for use in law courts.

Wow, did I come to the right place! Thank you!  I bought the fallacies book a few years ago, and I'm providing bias information resources to a book of standardized jury instructions. I hope to be able to cite published references for various kinds of biases. This info really gives me a good start! More than a start, actually!
