  It is quite math heavy, but I guess you can skip the proofs. You can see the book for free, I think it’s scanned online, it’s from mid-20th century I think

  There are no real prerequisites. In fact, in the introduction, Jaynes suggests that readers might be better off not having any previous introduction to statistics. That being said, there is an assumed level of general mathematical sophistication to the presentation.
