I'm glad you liked it. :-) The whole book is an amazing read. It's what sparked my interest in probability theory a decade ago. Unfortunately, it's unfinished work because Jaynes died while writing it in 1998. A version edited by one of his student was posthumously published (the one you can buy on Amazon). There are other gems in his bibliography and unpublished work. I never really _got_ thermodynamics until I read some of his half finished papers:
