Buck has contributed liner notes to compilations, reissues, and special editions, both of R.E.M.'s own material (the best-of compilations ''[[Eponymous (album)|Eponymous]]'' and ''[[In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988–2003|In Time]]'', the rarities, B-sides and out-takes collection ''[[Dead Letter Office (album)|Dead Letter Office]]'', and the special edition of ''[[New Adventures in Hi-Fi]]'') and of other artists' work (such as [[The Beach Boys]]' ''[[Love You (The Beach Boys album)|Love You]]'').
On September 9, 2008, immediately following the band's concert in [[Helsinki]], Buck's signature [[Rickenbacker]] guitar, used live and in the studio since ''[[Chronic Town]]'' in 1982, was stolen from the stage. It was returned on September 18, 2008, by an anonymous source.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://remhq.com/news/peter-bucks-rickenbacker-returned-3/ |title=Peter Buck's Rickenbacker Returned! |website=R.E.M.
