Hawking and Bekenstein derivation of black hole entropy from surface area

[quickAndLucky]

I am looking to walk trough hawking and beckenstien's arguments for the proportionality of bh entropy to surface area to better understand black hole entropy. Does anybody know where I can find this calculation? I have taken relativity and qft so I am comfortable with this level of difficulty.

Bekenstein's original 1973 paper is online here:

It gives a good discussion of the issue.

Jacobson's notes are nice:

For another view on BH entropy, the important paper by Wald

https://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9307038

is also recommended.
