A self-consistent thermodynamic framework is presented for power law canonical distributions of the Zipf-Mandelbrot type based on the generalized central-limit theorem by extending the discussion given by Khinchin for deriving Gibbsian canonical ensemble theory. The thermodynamic Legendre transform structure is invoked in establishing its connection to nonextensive statistical mechanics.
