Salam, @Gabriel - I dont really have much knowledge of the sciences of hadith, a lot of the narrations that are mentioned in the book include a footnote which saywhether the narration is reliable or not. Can we trust the narrations to be reliable if the authors said so?

Footnotes are usually not by the author, but by the Muhaqqiq(researcher or verifier) who comments on the book, in this case it depends on how good he is.

Also to be honest there is no need to verify the authenticity of all these narrations while reading, unless they are completely chain-less(No Isnad at all), only verify the authenticity of something when you feel that there is something odd about the text.
