It would seem the set-global-staff-size command needs to execute 
*before* beginning a \book block:

%%%%
\version "2.19.81"

#(set-global-staff-size 50)
\book {
    \score {
      c'1^"#(set-global-staff-size 50)"
    \layout {}
    }
}

#(set-global-staff-size 8)
\book {
    \score {
      c'1^"#(set-global-staff-size 8)"
    \layout {}
    }
}
%%%%
