Ok. How about:
Robertson, Harry S., _Statistical_Thermophysics_, Prentice-Hall (1993)
(I would especially suggest reading the discussions and commentary in
chap. 9.)
Jaynes, E. T., Phys. Rev. 106 (1957), 620-630
Jaynes, E. T., Phys. Rev. 108 (1957), 171-190
Levine, R. D., and Tribus, M., Eds. _The_Maximum_Entropy_Formalism_,
MIT Press (1979)
Rosenkrantz, R. D., Ed., _Papers_on_Probability,_Statistics,_and_
_Statistical_Physics_, D. Reidel, Dordrect-Boston-London (1982)
Justice, J. H., Ed., _Maximum_Entropy_and_Bayesian_Methods_in_Applied_
_Statistics_, Cambridge Univ. Press (1984).
In the last three volumes be sure to look at the contributions of E. T.
Jaynes among the others in them.
